Hubble being in space does not have a problem of seeing which is caused by atmospheric blurring and thus can observe light at more wavelengths. Its only limitation is by diffraction in its optics

What makes The Hubble Space Telescope different from other telescopes?
The main difference between Hubble Space Telescopes and other telescopes is the fact that the Hubble is placed in outer space where it can observe without the distortion of the Earth's atmosphere.
Can Earth-based telescopes can detect all forms of light?
No. Many frequencies of light are absorbed by the atmosphere, and so Earth-based telescopes can't detect it. That's why space telescopes such as the Hubble are so valuable; they allow us to see in frequencies that we cannot detect here on Earth.
What is the name of the orbiting space telescope launched in 1990?
The Hubble space telescope.The name of the telescope launched into space in 1990 is Hubble Space Telescope.
Is there a place named after Edwin Hubble?
Apart from a school and a planetarium.An asteroid.A crater on the Moon(My favorite) the Edwin Hubble Highway.
Who was the hubble space telescope launched by?
The Hubble Space Telescope was launched into orbit by NASA's space shuttle Discovery on STS-31 on April 24, 1990.
Which of the following is not an advantage the Hubble Space Telescope has over ground based telescopes?
It is closer to the stars
Who is the Hubble Space Telescopes named after?
Edwin Hubble
Are there telescopes in space?
hubble space station
What was made to improve the viewing in space?
Telescopes like the Hubble
Why can hubble space telescopes see much further into space and product much clearer images then telescopes on earth?
Because light is absorbed and disturbed as it passes through air ... effects that ground-based telescopes have to live with but Hubble doesn't.
Can spectroscopes be put in space or on Earth or both?
All major astronomical telescopes are equipped with spectrographs, including the Hubble and Spitzer Space Telescopes.
How has the Hubble space telescope helped NASA?
Most large earth bound telescopes cannot see clear images of objects in deep space. Our. atmosphere distorts the pictures with shimmery air. The HST (Hubble Space Telescope) has the advantage because it is in space and has almost no distortion. It can see much farther than regular telescopes.
Why should telescopes such as Hubble produce more detailed images than Earth based telescopes?
Earth based telescopes have to see through the atmosphere and all the dust it contains. space telescopes like Hubble have nothing but clearspace to see through.
What has the hubble space telescope found out about space?
The Hubble spacecraft has found more anbout the stars and planets more clearly then the others saw from other telescopes.
How are telescopes used in astronomy?
Telescopes are used to see things that are far away from earth. Using telescopes we can see things that are millions of miles away. Most of the telescopes are on Earth but some of them are in space such as the Hubble Space Telescope.
The major advantage of the hubble space telescope over ther ground-based telescopes is that the hubble?
the hubble lets nasa see things at a greater angle then ever before. it lets them see things past Pluto which is a great distance away ____________________ The Hubble is in space, and doesn't have to look at things through a distorting, turbulent blanket of air 100 miles thick.
Where is the Hubble telescope location?
In space.
